No ****in way he is no where even remotely close!!! Good god, scares the bejeepers outta me that anyone would think that.
Fortunetly, Boxing experts know what they are talking about, and would never have Calzaghe in the top 25, or even top 50 maybe, fighters of the last 30 years. Who cares that he is the best Supermiddleweight ever, that division has never had many good fighters in it. There are fighters around right now that could beat him, and he was beaten in his last fight arguably.
Calzaghe is, straight to the point, not a very good fighter, but he has some decent wins and a long title reign that does warrant a HOF entry,... but this day in age, that doesnt mean much
exactly 168 is and has been one of the weakest divisions in boxing...so who really cares if calzaghe is no1 there when he doesnt even make the top 25 fighter list in ONLY the last 30 years
calzaghe could be in the top 25 but hardly ever has proved it, he has only fought a few big names and the only name that he beat that will b remembered is hopkins
He's better than Marquez,Toney, Mosley, Wright, Tsyzu, Cotto, Hopkins, Trinidad, Oscar, Lewis and many others there so yes.
The question should be, is he a top 10 in the last 30 years?
I don't know about that one...
PFFFFF!!!!
James Toney, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Winky Wright, Bernard Hopkins, Tito Trinidad, Oscar DLH, and Lennox Lewis are ABSOLUTELY better fighters.
They have MUCH MUCH MUCH better resumes, they all have always sought out the best fighters available (except for Hopkins) and they have all beaten some of the best competition available.
Good god man, Calzaghe isnt even in the same stratosphere as those guys.
In face, rewind about 5 years to HOpkins' prime, put him in there with Calzaghe in his prime, and its nothing even close to a competitive fight. Same with Wright. Wright would beat him Trinidad style.
JMM is one of the best lower-weight division fighters ever, certainly top 50 IMO, and absolutely the best of the big 3 mexican fighters of his time.
DLH is arguable, but i think he is.
James Toney is an absolute legen, and holds much bigger wins then Calzaghe, has done it in far more entertaining style, and is just a much better quality of fighter.
Do i really even need to explain why Lennox Lewis, one of the best heavyweights of all time, is a better fighter than Calzaghe? and i mean MUCH better?
And Mosley is a gimme too. He holds a win over a p4p #1 fighter, and was in fact himself a p4p #1 fighter...
calzaghe could be in the top 25 but hardly ever has proved it, he has only fought a few big names and the only name that he beat that will b remembered is hopkins
you mean the only big name he fought was hopkins...and he couldnt beat him convincingly either. mind you this was an ancient hopkins
Pernell Whitaker
Oscar De La Hoya-overrated, not close on calzaghe's level and should have

Larry Holmes-worst era ever

Julio Cesar Chavez-tomato can, got ****ted on when he stepped up in competition like his son, overprotected fighter, hometown fighter
James Toney-LOL!
Juan Manuel Marquez-this guy goes up in competition and loses, can't handle pressure, not champion worthy
Wilfredo Gomez-LOL! who?
